LOL I remember the big controversy over that thing. The media make it sound like it could hack into ANYTHING. In reality it was just a packet sniffer like the wireshark program i have installed on my computer for free. Shame we all paid billions for that thing through taxes and interest.

Our Linode runs the site of Deep Ogontm. We call it Blogging with Numbers! It's kind of like a Wikipedia for statistics, wrapped in a blog.

Linode 360:

One domain that runs:
- LAMP server for JavaME/Web/WAP client
- SMTP/POP

it is interesting to know
what do you use your Linode for and what distro do you use.

I add that I use CentOS 5.3.

I have two Linode 360s, both running Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. One is dedicated to a wiki about Rochester, New York: http://rocwiki.org/. The other is my "personal" Linode, and has a bunch of stuff on it:

Asterisk (with FreePBX front-end) for our home telephones
ntpd (a part of the pool.ntp.org time server pool), now averaging 35 queries/sec
b2evolution (for a couple blogs, my own included)
lighttpd (general web server; two php-cgi instances under it, one for "normal stuff" and one for FreePBX)
Postfix (gets mail for various domains, forwards them to external mail accounts)
OpenVPN (VPN server for two VPNs, for tunneling IPv6 traffic)
irssi and bitlbee (for my communication addiction)
MySQL (database support for b2evolution and FreePBX)

This Linode has about 125MB of memory free, after accounting for buffers/cache/swap usage.

Curiously, it's the single-purpose 360 for rocwiki that ends up OOMing, because of some memory issues here and there with the wiki software.

I run a 70,000 page, 100% SSL legal research website, https://www.oregonlaws.org

It's running in Rails, in production mode, with mod_rails & enterprise ruby. It has a seamlessly integrated blog which is actually wordpress: https://www.oregonlaws.org/blog

I use a 720 Linode so that the entire database and index can be cached in RAM and give < 200ms response times.

It's the standard Linode Ubuntu install. I've then created identical Ubuntu VMs that I use on my personal computers for development work. I do a one-command deploy to the Linode using Capistrano. I never have out-of-memory errors, or any problems, really: I regularly check for Ubuntu and gem (ruby/rails) updates.

Using a Linode 720 to host my Wordpress blog, which is about Computer Systems designs: http://www.hardware-revolution.com. Getting about 150-200k pageviews per month, with spikes of 30k per day, not a problem at all.

I've got a Linode 360 which I use to host TangoCMS, a small but quite successful open source PHP CMS, feel free to test it out on our demo

The Linode has been perfect so far, got 267 days uptime (would be over a year, but I decided to play around with the kernel and ended up breaking things!) Couldn't have asked for more, really great service.

My Linode hosts an Asterisk VoIP system for my home phone and the NWS Wakefield, VA SKYWARN Amateur Radio Support Team. It also hosts some smaller web sites, including my personal site, and continually runs a copy of Interwarn, pushing NWS weather products out to the SKYWARN leadership team. Other than that, it's a general-purpose Linux box used for various console and XWindows applications. Works great!

I'm running (on Linode 540):

A personal site to host my stuff and my programming projects
A couple SVN repositories for school and work
A tor relay to consume extra bandwidth
An opensource 3d shooter game server (openarena)
I hate databases as they take up resources, so I prefer SQLite or flat file configurations... so far so good!

Maybe people should tell us WHAT they're running:

svnserve
nginx+php-fpm+xcache
tor+privoxy
vnstatd

Not much eh?

Oh, and OS = Debian 5.0 as it has the smallest footprint of them all (memory and hard drive space).

My 360 is used mostly as a playground...

Web Stuff
Host my personal site (Wordpress) http://3dgo.net
Fireborn fan site (SMF) http://fireborn.org
A friends blog about babies (Wordpress) http://lkbaby.com
Photo Gallery (ZenPhoto)
Misc other web toys

Screen
irssi (irc + bitlbee + irssi_proxy)
rtorrent
and general shell playground

The web server I'm currently using is Cherokee, but I'm not 100% sold on it yet. I've only just switched to it from LigHTTPd and that was only because it looks shiny.

I should do that. I've been wasting my linode for the most part. I was just tired of having random Comcast outages and it taking down my jabber server.

Aren't you then effectively on the hook for anything anybody does? It could certainly lead to your IP (or a larger bank of your neighbors') getting blacklisted.

If you're a Tor relay and not an exit, you don't show up in logs, so you don't get abuse complaints and blacklisting. Actually, it's better to allow exiting to your own server's public IP, so people can visit your sites over Tor with end-to-end encryption.

Linode 1440 with Debian 5 running:

- Normal LAMP setup (3 websites, wordpress/blog, gallery, music site etc)
- Shell stuff (whois, dig, code editing, general server customization)
- File backup (code, text documents, wordpress themes etc)
- DNS (linode as primary ,other box as secondary, hosting about 10 domains)
- Mail (Postfix/dovecot/squirrelmail, although using Google Apps as main email atm)

I'm using my other european box for IRC stuff and hosting all my friends websites bncs/eggdrops atm.
Currently im the only user on my box and I like to keep it that way, all the resources for me

On a normal day I will edit my websites on the shell, try out shell scripts/automating tasks, whois domains, blog about my findings, upload my music tracks to host etc.

I LOVE my linode, it's the best <3
